In 40 yrs of owning pickups, have never had a bed cover until I bought this used 2014 GM 1500 which has a roll up version
As noted, heavier rain and wind seems to be enemy at back two corners. Only thing I can think of to fix, is adding some more, replacing exhisting rubber gaskets with thicker rubber.
After looking a bit ago, something I had not noticed before. The stake holes are basically covered in front. But the rear ones are 75% uncovered. I would have to assume some of the water I've seen in bed is coming via here.
Reality for my usage, the bed is water proof. As I keep very little in the bed, even when covered water will not harm it. If it water WILL harm the item in the bed, it goes in the cab, or when their is no rain, drive thru car washes in the forecast.
